This sketch shows five people standing in a line. The first four are kids—three girls and a boy—dressed in simple clothes. The two youngest girls wear dresses, the boy is bare-chested, and the older girl has a patterned top. The fifth person is an adult woman with a patterned dress and a headscarf. Notice how the artist uses loose, sketchy lines. The faces are blank, almost like outlines. The title isn’t given, but the style feels personal and direct.
